In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.
Worry is like sitting in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth; it’s always in motion and it keeps us busy, but it never gets us anywhere. In fact, if we do it too long, it wears us out!
Trusting God allows us to enter His rest—a place of peace where we are able to enjoy life while we are waiting for Him to solve our problems. He cares for us; He will solve our problems and meet our needs, but we have to stop thinking and worrying about them.
I realize this is easier said than done, but there is no time like the present to begin learning a new way to live without worry, anxiety, and fear.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I want to be free from worry and reasoning. Help me to rest in You and completely let go of anxiety, amen.
